Special preventive event "Thin Ice"
The Ministry of Emergency Situations reminds:
the safe thickness of ice is 7 cm for one person;
the thickness of ice varies in different places on water bodies;
thin ice is found near the shores, in the areas of rapids and currents, at river confluences, on bends, near frozen objects, and at the outlets of warm and sewage discharges;
at a temperature of 0 °C, maintained for
three days, the strength of the ice decreases by 25 %;
the presence of a life jacket is mandatory;
do not forget to take a 'rescue' with you;
do not go fishing alone and to deserted places, otherwise no one will help you in case of need;
inform your relatives about your location and expected return time.
In 2025, during the long weekend (from March 7 to March 9),
15 people drowned, including 1 child.
If you decide to go out on the ice, remember that you are loved and awaited at home. Take care of yourself!
